just a quick little layout i threw together this morning using state fair from studio calico. it was sitting there, practically begging to be used! so, use it, i did! :) i think i may have a black cardstock addiction at the moment. i can't get enough of it! it's becoming my new kraft. (don't tell the 75 sheets of kraft i have sitting in my room that, k?)

i've had a little scrappy time this week; so i squeezed in a couple of layouts. finally broke into candy shoppe! it's only been sitting here forever! :)

a note: we are totally fine! it's just been an exhausting, fast paced year with a couple of bumps. just incase anyone was worried.

my bubs last year. he doesn't do school photos well. lol. this is a pretty good face for him. :)

these pics are of my great uncle roy during ww2. he was a bomber pilot. doesn't he look like he just strolled off of a movie set? seriously. i don't know who was taking the photos, but on the disk my mom gave me, there are a bunch! i am glad for it! :)

so, today is the day. i've been dreading it a little. i've never written a tutorial. the thought of doing it frightened me a little. but, i think it turned out okay! :) so, i made this cute little cupcake topper. hope you enjoy! for the actual tutorial & more pics, click on over to the elle's studio blog & peep it out! :)

...okay. so maybe not unloved. i love them a lot! (& i can't always say that about my layouts!) "unselected" would be better! lol. ck had some calls posted. i did a couple of quick ones to send in. haven't heard & they are pretty quick to respond; so, i'm assuming they weren't selected. but, i do love them. so, i'm gonna share! :)

i do LOVE those sass foldies! LOVE! i hope they keep making them!

these next 2 were for the "use the same product for 2 layouts" challenge (though i'm certain it had a much catchier name than that! lol)

for this one i used some of the kit items with pattern paper, buttons & letter stickers from my stash. i had that "hello sunshine" pattern paper pad for years now. felt good to use a little bit of it! :) this photo is of my oldest and middlest.

oh... my youngest. and the things he says. sigh... there are so many silly things!
